The average angle of a human's peripheral vision is around 120-130 degrees horizontally and 40-60 degrees vertically. This allows us to detect movement and objects outside of our central focus without having to turn our heads.

What is the first symptom experienced in Glaucoma?

The early symptoms associated with chronic open angle glaucoma, the most common type, are usually unnoticeable. At first, in most cases, the build up of pressure is gradual without any discomfort or pain. Most people do not detect a change in their vision until substantial sight loss has occurred. Certain parts of peripheral (side) vision are affected first with the top, sides, and bottom of the field of vision becoming decreased. Later in the course of the disease central vision becomes affected, mild headaches and difficulty with night vision might be experienced. And if left untreated, total blindness will result.

How does glaucoma progress?

There are many different types of Glaucoma, but I don't have time to tell you all of them, do I? I'll tell you the two most common types though. Two types of Glaucoma is "open angle" and "closed angle". Closed angle is when Glaucoma comes suddenly and painfully. Vision loss comes quickly and but the pain quickly leads those infected with it to medical help before the permanent damage is done. Open angle lets the glaucoma disease progress slowly and unpainfully. The person infected usually doesn't know they have vision loss until damage is permanent.
